Anyone fancy a burger for lunch? All the trimmings. A scamburger? (I'm here all week) |

My idiot colleague has apparently learnt the word 'iterate', and uses it multiple times in every sentence. She doesn't seem to know what it means though. She sent round an email asking the team to iterate some information in a spreadsheet, so she can iterate a report later. She needs to iterate our manager about it. If any of us have any questions she'd be happy to iterate us over Teams

Maybe she can iterate to become literate.

What do you do for a living Faceless to work which such stupidity? Taster at an ice cream factory? Tory head office?

'If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.'
Ever considered that?
I certainly haven't.

I will never understand drinking in an airport in the morning just because you can. You can take a bottle of beer out the fridge in the morning too if you want to.

I'm having to arrange a Schengen visa for a colleague. Despite paying a fortune for a third party provider to do the work, it is proving a colossal time sink. OTTM: I dug out a flower bed and removed an invasive honey suckle. Japanese honeysuckle? I’m asking for a friend. No I’m asking for me … How difficult was it? |

I can't be arsed boozing before or on a flight. Wouldn't booze on a train though either, unless maybe it was some 96hr journey across the Rockies. Drink driving though... |

I do like having a drink on a plane, after midday. I imagine myself as Roger Moore tinkling the glass though the window at some pursuer I’ve just outwitted. Though of course … the drinks don’t get brought round until you’re up in the air…
It is never quite as sophisticated as I would like it to be.
I wish walking around a plane were more of a thing. On balance planes aren’t great. I would like to go on an airship …

I have been horrifyingly hungover in airports more than once.
They tend to be terrible places to be hungover.
Also planes are not the best places to get over a hangover.
Four stars recommended.

I have been drunk on trains, ferries and nightbuses.
They are all fine places to be pissed.
4 stars

I have been drunk on a ferry. An excellent environment. On the coach afterwards not so much ….

I hope Felice’s drink has been upended over him by turbulence. And that his fingers are oily from a snack-pack of olives.

Who among us hasn't occasionally wondered what it would be like to get a bit drunk unusually early in the morning? Option 1) dress in scruffy clothes, sleep in the bus station and drink supermarket own brand lager at 10am, or Option 2) visit an airport, drink over-priced draught Guinness and pretend to yourself it's OK really just this once, at 6am.
It's the extra 4 hours earlier that helps make Option 2 more attractive.

I have no idea what type, I went at it with a pitchfork and big pruning thing and ripped its roots out. It was quite straightforward. |

Are you really suggesting that any of us here haven't done both of those things? Possibly even on the same day |

Right now I'm rolling around the grass on the city park and have drunk most of a bottle of methylated spirits.
I intend to soon fight pigeons.

I've drunk Carling at 7 am. That was a late drink rather than an early drink though.
